Test shot for Nicolas Cage as Superman from Superman Lives?
Something tells me it isn't. But you better believe there are some test photos out there.
Remember when Tim Burton took over the Superman Lives project back in the 90s? At one point, Nicolas Cage was set to take over the role of the new Superman. I remember this was a huge story at the time. Everyone reported on it. I didn't like the idea, and I got the feeling Burton cast Cage to get people talking about Superman Lives and to piss off comic book fanboys. You have to remember that Burton did the same thing with Michael Keaton in the Batman series.
Was Cage the right choice? Nope, not by a long shot.
Anyway, here's the story behind Nic Cage's involvement in Superman.
This was also when Tim Burton bumped Kevin Smith and his script off the production.
The only thing I liked from Burton's world of Superman was the Brainiac sketches.
Here is the script to Kevin Smith's version of Superman Lives.

I would have loved to have seen Kurt Russell as an older Superman... that would be worth watching.
That would have been an interesting choice. He certainly could pull it off better than Cage could with a middle aged superman
